ABOUT DAVID B. DAVE WALTERS

I help organizations to harness the power of storytelling principles, including those found in Dungeons & Dragons, to enhance engagement, build stronger teams, and achieve strategic goals. With 22+ years of experience in sales, marketing, executive leadership, and content creation, I translate complex business challenges into compelling stories that drive growth and foster collaborative cultures.Throughout my career, I’ve generated over $14M+ in annual revenue through high-ROI email marketing campaigns, leading strategy and execution for audiences of over one million subscribers. I’ve partnered with global brands like G4TV, Netflix, and Hasbro, honing the art of transmedia storytelling to engage diverse communities across platforms. Whether it’s attracting new customers, increasing brand loyalty, or optimizing conversions, my approach is grounded in data, creativity, and strategic experimentation.My unique background as a world-renowned Dungeon Master allows me to apply the principles of Dungeons & Dragons to the corporate world, using narrative frameworks and character-driven journeys to reimagine how businesses approach leadership, teambuilding, marketing, and sales. Just as adventurers in a campaign collaborate, adapt, and solve problems under pressure, I guide teams to think creatively, communicate effectively, and form stronger relationships—both internally and with their clients.By merging proven business expertise with storytelling mastery, I help businesses unlock new levels of engagement. From enhancing brand voice to nurturing cohesive, goal-oriented teams, my methods deliver more than just better metrics—they instill a sense of purpose and possibility.Testimonial:B. Dave ran a very special level 20 one shot for some of my clients in a unique setting. We were able to host B. Dave and my clients in the legendaryGreen Dragon in Hobbiton (New Zealand!)Since that one shot in Hobbiton, I’ve seen B. Dave captivating a room of diverse people while he shared about storytelling and riffed with the audience. I’ve seen B. Dave host a one shot with corporate clients with a range of prior D&D experience, from highly experienced to novice, and he brought the whole team together with practiced consummate ease. I have no hesitation recommending him to any company that wants to provide an engaging experience for their staff for team building, or a singular experience for customers. If B. Dave says he can do it, he will deliver; he did for me and I’m already looking forward to engaging with him again. James Turner, Managing Director, CISO Lens
